Hi!! Thank you for this Wed site.. I found out about this book about a week ago searching the web for best vegan diet to lose weight. I ordered the book from Barnes & nobles. It won’t be here until July 25. I just can’t wait that long to start so I have been reading blogs online and now Pinterest for tips and suggestions. This starchy/ non starchy list was extremely helpful!!! I went grocery shopping yesterday and today is my day 1 on this journey! Can vegan chicken and meatless crumbles go in the same category as beans and tofu? Which is minimum 1 cup a day? What exactly does minimum 1 cup a day mean? At least 1 cup ? But since it’s in the unlimited category you can have as much as you would like? Do you any suggestions for salad dressing as well? I have been addicted to food for as long as I can remember. I have been vegan for almost a year and the past couple month I have completely fell off. So really I have been vegetarian for the past couple months. I’ve been feeling really awful until I came across this book . I have hope again and I am very very excited!!!!!!! Any tips , suggestions, info support you can share I will be forever grateful . Thanks love ♥️

Our preference is to eat fresh vegetables as opposed to processed foods although it’s becoming more and more prevalent and with more processed foods containing sugar and fat, the population is following the rest of the western world and rapidly getting more obese.

Yes, beans and legumes are unlimited. Try to have at least a cup a day. Bear in mind that they are a more concentrated source of calories, so if you’re trying to lose weight, you don’t want to overdo it.

When my family and I left town last week to spend Christmas with our two families, the last thing I expected was to come home with a new recipe to share. I’d signed off on Facebook for the holidays and didn’t even bring a camera with me. My plan was to make only tried and... […]

Ten years ago at dinner time on Valentine’s Day I sat down to a special dinner I had created for myself of low-fat vegan fare. It was to be my first official day of eating this way, and i wanted it to be special and delicious. I wanted it to be a celebratory start […]
